Our work on climate change

Our climate is changing and it’s the world’s poorest people who are hardest hit by devastating droughts, floods and other extreme weather events.

This is a massive injustice - the average Briton produces 48 times more carbon dioxide every year than someone living in Bangladesh .

Our work on Education

Practical Action’s education unit produces a range of engaging resources for Science, Design & Technology and Geography teaching at both primary and secondary level. Set without a global context resources include STEM challenges, which link to CREST awards; global updates produced with the Association of Science Education; concept cartoons; video and image galleries and much more.

Our work on food

Practical Action works with farmers in developing countries building on local knowledge and traditional skills and helping them to increase their food security. However, the effects of climate change are making it increasingly difficult for farmers to cope. Practical Action works with communities to ensure food security and increase incomes.
